Hi, for my main Linux I use the power manger to blank the display after 9 minutes, put it to sleep after 10 minutes and turn it off after 50 minutes, but sometimes I like to see funny screensavers. Indeed, screen locking doesn't make much sense. However, I added a menu entry named "Lock screen" to lock the screen on demand. To shut down or restart my computer root privileges are required. This also doesn't make much sense. It makes a little bit sense, to protect the 24/7 running install against visitors with a Windows or Smartphone user approach, who can be left alone or not at all alone at the computer.
